Ok, I looked into it and it looks like the host was doing some work on the database and that’s causing the problem. I think you are right, it was just a coincidence. Thanks for getting back to me! 🙂
I wouldn’t think so, as one of the fixes suggested online was to disable plug-ins and find the one that is causing the problem.
When wp did the repair of the database it said there was an error that it couldn’t repair and the error was something like “2 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly”. I found someone asking WP about this error message and they said to deactivate the plugins. I deactivated updraft and it fixed the problem.
I’m assuming updraft is the “client” that was using or hadn’t closed the table properly?

In reply to: I can't switch directories! :(Thanks for that link! I’ll definitely try my best to follow that. It’s very different than the codex I used before!

In reply to: I can't switch directories! :(But the instructions say that .htaccess needs to be copied, but you are saying no such file exists. Something is wrong here.

In reply to: I can't switch directories! :(So, for moving my wordpress to a root directory this is all I have to do?
1. move all the files from the wordpress directory to the folder you want to keep it at.
2. In the general settings in the dashboard change the files URL and the index URL.
3. Copy just the file index.php into the root directory
And that’s it? It should work?

In reply to: I can't switch directories! :(It isn’t in the files that I manually upgraded with either. So, I guess the instructions I used to move my site were out of date. Are there up to date instructions out there?

In reply to: I can't switch directories! :(But, regardless, does anyone know why the .htaccess file isn’t there???

In reply to: I can't switch directories! :(Well, the problem is that their customer support is horriffic! I still have a pending ticket from 6 months ago.
And when I have talked with them on the phone, it’s a nightmare. It’s like talking to a robot and it just goes nowhere!

In reply to: change folders?I tried following the instructions on http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory but I can’t find the .htaccess file even when I have it “view all” and there is no “view hidden files” option anywhere.
I also don’t see any files that start with web.config
Nothing is working now and I can’t access the site at all. 🙁

In reply to: I can't switch over to visualWait, I deleted the cache and now it seems to be working!

In reply to: I can't switch over to visualOkay, I’ve manually updated via filezilla and that did not solve the problem. I exchanged all the files in wp admin and wp includes as well as all the loose root files. 🙁

In reply to: I can't switch over to visualThanks for the offer, I’d hate to make you do it for me, though! I did some research and found out that I downloaded the server and not the client (the wordpress filezilla page probably ought to be updated to correct that). I have the client and am connected via ftp.
Should I just upload the two main folders? I’m assuming this will delete the entire contents of the old folders. I’m not touching the content folder, so I know that stuff will be safe. But, is it safe to just completely replace the other two folders? I wanted to ask before doing it.
Thanks for your help guys I really appreciate it!
